“We have not been informed of anything in this regard, but we welcome the general guidelines announced,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said at his weekly press conference on Monday. He went on: “Iran’s hand of friendship is extended to Islamic countries”.

Mousavi asserted that Iran considers that the tension between Islamic countries is “harmful to the region, the Islamic world and the neighbourhood, adding he believes that foreigners are taking advantage of these conditions”.
